HIGH DEFINITION: ZERO TOLERANCE IN DESIGN AND PRODUCTION

Edited by Bob Sheil & Helen Castle

Essay by Philip Beesley

"A pioneering title, High Definition explores
the onslaught of new highly accurate digital metrology
tools in large and small scale 3D scanning and 3D
modelling. Capable of measuring space to an accuracy
of less than 1mm, these tools offer unprecedented
accuracy for the development and interrogation design
before, during and post production. Over the last
decade the array of designers' digital tools to purpose
and make their ideas have evolved significantly, but
the absence of high-accuracy, zero-tolerance design
production has often remained the missing piece
between design and fulfilment."
